9800GX2 Pictures & Specs Revealed

[Ace123]

you could SLI two normal cards and get more performance than this thing.
This sounds and feels like a desperate move.

[Damien]

Desperate for what? They don't HAVE to release anything.

You guys don't think that's a fan behind the vent? I can almost see something shaped like half the fan. maybe not idk.

If it is a fan... then where are the blades...??

[Damien]

Well the quality of the picture isn't that high to begin with, maybe they're there but you can't see them. IDK, I almost want to say I see the fan though.

[Warboy]

If it is a fan... then where are the blades...??

It has a Fan like the GTX/Ultra, but it looks bigger, and the grill is only showing about 1/3 of the fan.

PS. Firefox addons to zoom in 250% on a image are your friends

[Damien]

I knew I couldn't possibly be the only one seeing it.

I love FF's addon, zoom image and, I see no fan blades just a grill with a PCB underneath the grill.

[Volucris]

I'm rather disappointed. I just want to stepup to a 9800GTX before Feb 16th.

- installed tail 6 - PIN and 8 - PIN power connector, the official minimum recommended system power demand of 580 W (+12 V power A request for 40).

- support PCI-Express 2.0, DX10 and SM4.0, OpenGL 2.1, PureVideo HD ,128-bit HDR, 16X AA, as well as built-in HDCP HybridPower energy saving technology, at this stage, whether they have updated VP3 or maintain existing VP2 technology is still uncertain, but we can not yet confirm DX10.1 and SM4.1 support for a new generation of imaging technology, the loss is expected to be a major marketing campaign, at the same time opponents will be part of this attack.

- leading GeForce 8800Ultra effectiveness of the game can be as high as 30 to 50 per cent

- GeForce 9800GX2 estimated price of 449 US dollars, time for the launch of their products on February 14, slightly late ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 the January 28

Looks good but what it comes down to are the drivers!

[LordEC911]

I do.

Basicly its what nigthcrawler said plus a few more things. One part is the end bracket being completely out of place.

Its a photoshop job I bet.

Whoops...

[Monkeywoman]

449 US dollars...thats 448 canadian w00t!

[FischOderAal]

omfg... it's getting more and more ridiculous. in two years time we'll plug a motherboard into a graphic-card

when will this trend ever end? I own a x1950 Pro and it does just fit into my case (Lian-Li V600B /w wc-setup for the whole system). this sucks!

[Damien]

NOW can you guys see it?

Maybe it's my young eyes, but i'm surprised I saw it on a little 19" crt when most of you have nice 22+" lcd lol.

[revogamer]

looks good, if only you could use 3 of em.

[Vargher Warg]

Why is the card soo closed up at the end of it? there is almost no grill at all!
These cards will release all their heat into the case God dammit!, and there are
big open grills at the sides - this must be a
fake photoshop, or why else this big flaw of design?

I'll skip this crap! and wait for the G100 - or whatever they call them for the moment?

Damn DAAMIT! and damn Nvidia! - they have made me a GFX-junkie! and I need my fix soon!

[Swatrecon_]

looks good, if only you could use 3 of em.

HEXA-SLI!!!

[Zytek_Fan]

That's gonna suck to watercool. Or even worse, try to put LN2 pots on it

[cegras]

- leading GeForce 8800Ultra effectiveness of the game can be as high as 30 to 50 per cent

Oh yeah!!!! (+ a few more !'s)

[NightCrawler™]

So what's wrong in this picture and all the others... how in the hell did they mount the bracket.. it's so way off you can't even install it in a slot without the bracket hitting the side of the case..

And no regular TV-Out plug...?? Two of those in SLi.... then say goodbuy to your fancy NB cooling and Sata connections...

Damn retards who designed this... I'll either grab me another SSC or a G100 instead of this ugly POS...

[y eye]

I never thought the [H] would get something like this first:

In my opinion, we should be expecting nothing more than two 8800GT's put together, in this case on two separate PCB's.

hardop.com took it from a dude named Napoleon. His site moved, it looks like 03Jan08. His new site has no mention of the card. lol........

[socket]

i think this card will have big problems with cooling.

[ColonelCain]

so no singelcore highendcards.... i dont like in what direction this goes.

Exactly. I understand the GPU industry's push to go multi-core, but doing it like this is just lazy.

However, does this remind anyone of the 3870X2?

[justin_c]

The PCI bracket is too long, won't fit. I smell fake.

[DilTech]

The PCI bracket is too long, won't fit. I smell fake.

Looks like you're right...that bracket appears to be 2+ inches beyond the PCI-E connector. That would hit the mobo tray way before you'd get that installed!
